* Based on a three course dinner, half a bottle of wine, coffee, cover charge, service and VAT.

A “beautifully situated restaurant” in an Art Deco solarium overlooking Poole Harbour, and where “drinks on the upper deck are an extra delight”. One or two off reports on the food front this year, but also plenty of plaudits for its “really good breakfasts and lunches”, and “service has improved” of late too.

This “seafront diner with great views” “in a great location” – an Art Deco 1930s solarium overlooking Poole Harbour – serves up an all-day mix of breakfast, snacks, fish and grills, with dinner in the summer months and plenty of al fresco tables. It also offers “rare good value” this close to Sandbanks.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
